A national framework for implementing Pharmacists with Special Interests (PhwSIs) has now been published by the Department of Health and NHS Primary Care Commissioning.
This guidance framework is part of the ongoing implementation of A Vision for Pharmacy in the new NHS, and sits alongside the wider development of the pharmacy workforce including national occupational standards for pharmacy roles, better use of skill mix, and the establishment of consultant pharmacist posts.
It includes a definition, guidance on how PhwSI services can be put in place, a competency framework for PhwSIs and examples of current service models similar to PhwSI. The framework will allow accredited PhwSIs to work alongside other primary care professionals to deliver care in new ways using redesigned care pathways, to support the policy direction described in the White Paper Our health, our care, our say.
